Virtual Memories Show:
\nMary Fleener –
\nOur Lady of Organized Vituperation<\/a><\/p>\n

“I was so excited to get an issue of Weirdo in the mail. I ran up my driveway and saw my neighbor and said, ‘Look! I got a letter from Robert Crumb!’ And he said, ‘Who’s that?’ And I thought, ‘Here’s my introduction to the mainstream appreciation of underground comics.'”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"lotp\"<\/a>Viva Cubismo! Mary Fleener joins the show to talk about her career in cartooning, her love\/hate relationship with LA (mostly hate now, but there was a little<\/em> love in the early days), the Zora Neale Hurston story that made a cartoonist out of her, the story of how Matt Groening accidentally derailed her career, her past-life regression while attending the King Tut exhibition in 1978, the roots of her Cubismo comics style, the joys of simplifying her life, the new book she’s working on, the horrors of The Comics Journal<\/em>‘s message board, and more! Give it a listen!<\/a><\/p>\n

“When I was going to college, you’d pass the guys selling ‘Muhammad Speaks,’ then you’d run into the Hare Krishnas, then there’d be the La Raza guys, then the Jesus freaks. Everything was in flux. Everybody was getting in cults. Everyone was either asking you for money or trying to convert you.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
